Windows rdp does not support redirection of local scanners, so you
will need some 3rd party software.

Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (Enterprise and Advanced Editions
only) provides TWAIN support; local scanners and USB attached
digital cameras are now supported.

Other solutions are based on sharing the scanner on the network.
This can be done with a number of 3rd party utilities:

* RemoteScan - lets you share any kind of TWAIN scanner (SCSI / USB
/ Firewire, etc.)
http://www.remote-scan.com/
* LWP DokScan for RDP
http://www.lwp.de/dokscanrdp.html?&L=1
* ScanShare Pro - from Netcore (SCSI scanners only)
http://www.netcore.com.tw/product.htm
* Some scanner models include network scanner sharing, and are
accessible by terminal server users.

Yep. Remotescan (www.remote-scan.com) works. We use it with scanners that are attached directly to our thin clients (neoware XPe) in both our Terminal Server 2003 and Citrix environments. We tried to use the twain redirection that Citrix provided, but couldnt get it to work consistently.
